Poker Online

Many are making a living playing poker online

NEW ORLEANS, LA,SEPT 13,With the increasing popularity of online casinos and Internet poker play, more people are making a living gambling online. Perhaps one of the most popular methods of online gambling is playing poker over the Internet. And, it’s not surprising since poker is one of the only casino games where the player can actually beat the house—some of the time.

Web sites such as Aces-poker-guide.com (www.aces-poker-guide.com) enable players to review a list of online poker rooms before deciding to play. Instead of pulling-up to a spinning wheel or throwing a pair of dice, prepared poker players can walk into their first game with a lot of knowledge. There are tons of things to learn about the game, but this should give you a good head-start when going online to play poker.

Seasoned poker players speak their own language, and if you want to be competitive, you’re going to have to learn it. If you learn nothing else, know that the term “blind” has nothing to do with sight, and a “river” has nothing to do with water.

Have a general understanding of the following before you begin, and remember to kill with skills.

Math Rules!

Poker is more about percentages and pot odds than betting and bluffing. It’s always good to know where you stand in a hand, and how likely you are to win the pot. *There are some technical tricks you can use to figure this stuff out, but they are too complicated to go into any length here

“Chop wood. Carry Water”

This is an old Zen phrase about enlightenment through discipline. Players should be very disciplined when it comes to the game of poker. Unless you’re sitting on a pile of cash ready for the flame, you’ll want to closely monitor the money that you’re putting into your bankroll—and the money you’re “giving” to the game.

We’re not saying that you have to be psychic to excel at poker, but it would help. Unfortunately, playing poker online removes the “poker face” element of the game, but you can still get a read on the other people sitting at the table. Watch how fast they play, and how much they bet. It’s fair to assume that a rookie with a great hand is going to put everything they have on that hand.

Risk vs. Reward

Remember that poker is still a game, and with any game, there’s a certain amount of unpredictability associated with it. However, the better you get at the game, the more risks you’ll take and the more rewards you’ll reap.

You’ve heard the saying, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” It works the same way with bankrolls. Think of it as a cushion, and whether you’re playing big games or stay small, you’ll always have that on your side. Furthermore, the more money you have, the more you may be willing to risk—which could mean you win more, but could also mean you lose more. Remember your skills. I love jelly rolls, btw!

Decide how you open a round based on the value of your hand. If it looks good, bet and go for it. If your not sure, check and follow the bets for a couple of rounds to see how it goes. There are certain percentages that govern the likelihood of your winning the pot. If it looks bad, remember you always have the option to fold.

Don’t let others dictate the way you play your game. One of the greatest things about playing online is that you avoid the intimidation some players have raised to an art form. If you’re just not feeling it one day, stop playing. If you feel that you may need to learn a little more before you continue, don’t be afraid to stop. Play your own game, and when you do, you’ll always win.
